You've probably just been insisting on things being edgy/gritty/dark...... Yes, it does. The players build a nice safe coffee bar, setting up a nice life for themselves after defeating [X] and... then another threat comes along and they have to leave their cozy life. Quite literally the second book in the series I was referencing involves them going on a pirate adventure and leaving the comfy cozy town they had been in behind, and disrupting the power structure of a neighboring country. One adventure ends, downtime happens, then another adventure begins. That's basic DnD.I know what it would mean if any of a dozen people I know IRL was using it. But I have found occasionally people on the internet have different cultures than me, or are referencing different fandoms. But if a dwarf baking bread is excessively, aggressively cutesy to you... wow. That doesn't even register on the scale for me. There are levels of cutesy you are not prepared for.No, it wouldn't be a small change of tack. That's the thing. This would require such a massive change in art direction to even begin to accomplish, it doesn't make sense and no one has said that is what DnD is doing, Your best evidence that this might happen are a few relatively cozy pieces of artwork showing people living their lives. It feels like suddenly being concerned that all magic in DnD is now going to be potion-based, because Tasha's Cauldron spell got revealed and it makes potions, and you aren't saying that is what is going to happen, but it would be a relatively small change for them to convert all DnD magic into types of potions that characters need to drink to activate spells. I just don't understand the concern, because there is nothing to support your point other than "there is some cozy art"</blockquote>
